I play an acoustic and like playing with the AMaj7 (x02120), but the regular A
(x02220) is fine (or power chords).
I did a rough tab of the first guitar break.
You finally pulled [AM7]back when the world pulled yo[E]ur hair
[AM7]Alone in the room with a questio[E]n hangin
You l[AM7]eft with your hand in the a[E]ir, and it's sti[F#m]ll there[E]
[AM7] [E]
[AM7] [E]
[AM7] [E]

B: ------------12 | ------------12- | ------------12- | ---------
G: 9-9-9-9-9/11-- | 9-9-9-9-9/11--8 | 9-9-9-9-9/11--8 | --9-9----
D: ---9---9------ | ---9---9------- | ---9---9------- | 11---11-9
At your [AM7]age life moves so f[E]ast
Twelve years [AM7]old, skinny legs, built to [E]come in last
Had a mi[AM7]rror that would nev[E]er lie
But ? never [F#m]pays to try[E]
[AM7] [E]
[AM7] [E]
[AM7] [E]
[F#m] [E]
[F#m]Everytime i saw you
You were[G#m] trying so hard to expla[E]in
[F#m]Broadcast failure
Like a p[G#m]lastic bowl its spinning down the drain[E]
But you came throu[E]gh, you came t[F#m]hrough
When nob[G#m]ody expe[F#m]cted you to
You came through[E], you came throu[F#m]gh
With all[G#m] those narrowed [F#m]eyes upon you
[E]You came [F#m]through, you came throu[G#m]gh[B]
[AM7] [E]
[AM7] [E]
[AM7] [E]
[F#m] [E]
Now you wis[AM7]h you weighed a thousand poun[E]ds
So you coul[AM7]d crush all those bullies and[E] demons down
From your s[AM7]eat at the back of the bus[E]
You're still waving[F#m] back at us[E]
[AM7] [E]

[AM7] [E]
[AM7] [E]
[AM7]E F# E (Not sure about these last chords, bass notes sound like E F# E, guitar
sounds like E A G#, but it's your call)
Enjoy. Always loved this song. Post corrections/additions.
